Immigrants can be found working in almost every industry in California.

Free Help with Job Search Necessities

LA ORT students who take advantage of the Career Development Center will find help in the following areas:

Where and how to look for jobs – A major part of the job search is knowing where and how to look for jobs. For instance, as a legal immigrant, you want to look for jobs where there is a high need. We can help you look for the right jobs in the right places.

How to write a solid resume and cover letter – Your resume and cover letter are the first things that potential employers will see. We can teach you how to craft a resume that shows potential employers you are the best fit for the job.

What to say and do in the interview – Next up is the interview. Since the interview can be intimidating, we can help you prepare in advance for the types of questions you will be asked.

How to get the job – Finally, we help students know the important next steps after an interview such as a follow-up thank you and payment negotiation.
